The Carly Benefit Concert.

The benefit concert of Miss Gertie Carly
filled the Metropolitan last night. Long
before 8 o'clock there was only standing
room below, and very soon after the gallery
was filed, 1t was brilliant audience, and
one very warmly in sympathy with the
beneficiary Miss Carly sang Bird
of the Mountain" with violin obi
cato by Miss kaibel, and an aria
by Donizetti, and in response to
recalls sang "Ah, When I Gaze Within
Those Eyes" and lone Blossom She was
the recipient of great number of floral
testimonials, some of them very large and
deliberately worked designs, and all ex-
ceedingly beautiful. The reception ac-
corded her was warm and very Aattering.
The young lady has sympathetic voice, a
correct ear, and sings with remark
able ease and self-relianee for one who
has had so little instruction, and has
appeared before the public so infrequently.
The chief charm of her voice is its sympa-
thetic qualities aud warmth of expression.
The young lady has promise in Der tones,
sweet and feeling now, of greater strength
and deeper meaning. She appears to be a
sensible person, not likely to be carried
away by present applause, or led to believe
that she has not hard work before her, as a
condition precedent to possible high ey-
cellence. Miss Carly was at one time an
inmate of the Orphan Asylum in
this ciCy. A large number of the
elder children of that refuge were last
night present by her invitation, and at the
close of the entertainment one bright little
master from that institution came forward
and, in behalf of Miss Carly, thanked the
people for their kindness to her. In a
humorous strain he set forth the ambitions
of the children of the Asylum, and advised
the people that the deserving of Miss
Carly was an earnest of the effort all the
masters and misses of the Asylum were
making to prove worthy of the community.
Miss Carly was aided by Noack's full
orchestra; Richard Cohn, tenor; Miss
Gertrude Jones, soprano; r. II. Auerbach

gave dramatic bit of mimicry, and Mrs.
oeadler recited Larkie." 1t is not possible
to here refer to the numbers in detail,
they were without exception well rendered
and proved the capacity of local talent to
be OF good order, and deserving of pub-
lie commentator. Several of the per
formers, besides Miss Carly, received floral
testimonials, and the applause TO each par
ticipant was unstinted Much of the sue
cess of the benefit, which greatly flrthers
the beneiciary's ambition to pursue her
studies, was due to the efforts of Mrs. E.
K. Hamilton, who arranged mainly the de-
tails, and superintended their execution.
